“Type” Field

The parameters you can select here are usually stored on the IDE drive. The ’Auto’
setting in the ’Type’ field means that these values are automatically read from the
drive and written into memory (Autodetect).

If Type is selected for a drive that cannot be detected, a timer times out in
approximately 1 minute and the entries remain unchanged. You should always
check that the interfaces for which you select ’Auto’ are in fact connected to drives.

Select “User” if you want to define the hard-disk type yourself, in which case
remember that you also have to set the other fields, including Cylinder, Heads,
Sectors/Track and WritePrecomp, to the correct values for the type of hard disk in
question.
